Something I got from a work colleague. Thank you 😊 Unfortunately, it was completely 'old', probably due to extremely poor storage conditions (at the dealership). It had a strong sense of rice, and I could feel a glimpse of the rich dry taste, but the aftertaste was so uncomfortable that I gave up after one glass. We decided to serve it as a cooking sake from now on.

My wife bought this series💕 I heard it's 📌720ml ¥ secret! I'll get back to you as soon as I can 🍶. Not much aroma but mild 💕 The color is beautiful💕 The mouthfeel is light and refreshing💕 It goes down smoothly💕 It has a nice sharpness to it💕The spiciness comes a little later but not unpleasant 👍 I think it's a food wine. Today's pairing is pork with ginger 👍 It goes well with it💕and doesn't interfere with it💕. Delicious ✌️! The alcohol content is 15-16 degrees, but it seems to be higher 😓It goes around 🥵. Thanks to my wife again today💕 Thank you ✌️thank you👍

#Hamamatsu# I went back to my parents' home in Hamamatsu during Golden Week. I left Tokyo around 3pm in the afternoon. Tomei Expressway had zero traffic jam 😯 Surprised 😆. It was good to move at the time to spend in the holiday resort 🤔. Arrived at my hometown and bought gyoza (dumplings) and sake (sake) at my parents' house. Knowing that "Hana no Mai" was waiting for me. I bought this sake and went home. It was very spicy 🤯 and bitter at first. Not bad 😅

Japanese>English

It is thirst-quenching and refreshing. It has a sweetness with a hint of melon. This is a very good sake for Niigata.

First Momokawa, sharp and crisp.

Japanese>English

Light and sweet. The sweetness reminds me of bubble gum with the flavor of apple. The aftertaste is clean, short and slightly dry. Very enjoyable to drink on a warm evening.

Purchased at Aomori Iwate Shop I was attracted by the "limited edition" label and bought it reflexively. It is said to be slightly dry, but it has a mild taste. I also like that it doesn't have that much of a ginjo feel to it. Let's try it lukewarm when it gets a little cooler!

Japanese>English

Today is Nigori no Hi? (25th) eve. I had a Kirinzan. It has no effervescence, but when you pour it into a glass, it is very fizzy. The alcohol content is 14 degrees. A little low. It has a gentle flavor, but it is dry and refreshing. The nigorigo has a variety of flavors, and it is delicious.

Japanese>English

Today I opened a bottle of sake that I received. It is light, sharp and delicious. It goes well with a club sandwich. The label says Denkara ❔❔❔❔.

Here's the rice! I'll have it hot today. 720ml ¥990 It's hot sake. Not much aroma. The mouthfeel is clear and easy to drink without getting stuck in the throat. Today's pairing is octopus and wasabi. By the way, I prefer it a little warmer than the top warmer. I plan to have it cold tomorrow!

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑧ This is another unknown sake brewery, Yukijaku Sake Brewery. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki with a 38% rice polishing ratio and unfiltered. According to the official website, there are two types of sake: hi-ire and nama, but the one I drank was probably hi-ire. I think it was fruity and quite sweet 🤔. Forgot to take notes💦.

Japanese>English

I thought it was Hibari, but it was Yukijaku. My first sake from Ehime. It's a delicious sake with a fluffy sweetness that spreads to the mouth, and no harshness. I think it's a good sake that will become a rare and delicious sake once its name becomes known. Well, really, all the breweries have delicious sake, and with my vocabulary and expression skills, I can't express the distinction between the sake.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (1) We compared 2 bottles of Hakuro Taruhu Jun Daigin set with the Hometown Tax return gift from Tsuruoka City. ✌️ First, let's start with Dewa Sanzan 😄. The aroma is fruity with a hint of sourness. The label says it is mellow and umaguchi, and while it is certainly umaguchi, it is characterized by its sharpness, leaving the impression of acidity and dryness in the aftertaste. It has a strong sense of transparency and is both mildly sweet and spicy, making it a good mid-meal sake. It has a wide strike zone for temperature, and can be served cold, of course, but it also shows its potential at temperatures that are close to room temperature.

Furusato Tax: Hakuro Taruzu Drinking Comparison (2) Drinking comparison of 2 bottles of Jun Daigin set of Hakuro Taruzu with the Furusato tax return gift from Tsuruoka city. ✌️ The second bottle is Rashinban, my personal No.2 brand from last year. Ordered again this year with Furusato tax return 😂. This is an ice-aged Jun Daigin made from the beautifully named Yuki-Onogami sake rice, polished to 33%. The top aroma is tropical fruit🥭 type. On the palate, the sweetness and umami are firm, but the finish is quick and curiously refreshing. The aftertaste is full of ripeness and spiciness, and the taste is delicious from start to finish.

Japanese>English

A liquor store in Yamagata recommended this sake to me. I bought it because it's a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing a rare type of sake rice called Yukimajin up to 39. The alcohol content is high, but the taste is refreshing, sweet and mild. It's rich with flavor but crisp after drinking it 🙂 It smells very fragrant and makes me happy😇

(Translated by 🍶🍶🍶🍶+ At Sakeiki Daigo No.10 I had a bottle of Hidakami dry junmai 😀 🔥. It was a traditional strong style 💪 and matched well with the sashimi we ordered. It was a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

There is no night without dawn Today is firefly squid with vinegared miso. My son was taken care of in Ishinomaki, so I made this with gratitude. Hidakami is a dry sake with a refreshing aftertaste. It made me think that sake really goes well with fish.

A refreshing and crisp sake typical of Echigo breweries. Serve it warm. Sake is a breeze created by local rice, water, humanity, and nature. This is exactly what I feel, and I feel the brewer's message and sensibility in likening it to the wind.
